Hello guys.
I have a suggestion for the community support organization.
I was talking with Tomek Urbaszek and he asked me to send it to devlist.

*Problem:*
Today I see the community is not well supported in terms of FAQs or
problems solving.
New people get frustrated not finding answers to their basic questions in
Slack.
Maaany person has doubts and posts them here in the Slack channels. But
they don't get answers, because:
- it isn't the best channel to get help
- and many doubts are pretty basic (and could be answered with
documentation or with some other question already answered)

And more experienced users also struggle to find community support because
their questions got lost between so many spammed questions in the Slack
community. Also, we lose track of the questions in the channels and we
don't keep history.

On other hand, we have the general Stack Overflow that helps a lot in that
sense but is not so "official" as the Airflow channel for such a thing.
The community could develop/grow much faster if had some better approach
for this.

*Suggestion:*
We could create a community for Airflow in Stack Exchange.

If we have a community dedicated to Airflow in Stack Exchange, all the
doubts could be better indexed, we would avoid redundant questions and have
a community looking at the quality of the questions/answers.

This would be pretty helpful to the Airflow Community and help us to grow
faster.
Bonus: Also, the Slack channels would be more objectives and productive.
